Tis true. I'm a Physiotherapy Assistant.

In Caman's case, until the impingement is gone, exercise could potentially worsen the problem. He could see a PT and perhaps get some acupuncture. I have known this to work wonders on impingements. The PT may also prescribe some Interferential Current (IFC), TENS ( both for pain) or even massage the affected area to try and loosen up the impingement.

He could in the meantime try some self massage at the site with his thumb in a circular motion. That may help.

Aside from that surgery could be the only option.

"As for using the board, and I'm sure Marc will vouch for this, you need to use the board strategically." Yes, use a cloze procedure, where a word is deleted and thus, the students need to listen to you reading all but the deleted word/phrase, and they have to supply other words which make sense in the context of the sentence. Thus, they are utilizing the syntactic and semantic cues within the sentence.
Thanks for the advice, Rp and Marc. I will make a note of it and frankly am going to try to stop second-guessing when I should or should not be using the board. I will use it as I see fit and she may criticize me for it if she wishes.

And unfortunately, I have six classes left, not four ... we will be back in the same class for one final week just after Reading Week. Ah, well ... can only try to do my best for the students' sakes.

That's the spirit Mona! One of my first lessons as an instructor was that the participants don't know the script. So, if it's your class, then run it as you see fit ..... good for you!

Caman, thanks for the bounce back I will check my e-mail now .... thanks and good night.

Good luck, Mona. Do what comes naturally and remember "balance is the key to successful teaching". Paix, mon amie.

Sonal, they would protect you from the badger or wolverine attacking you, and then you would not want to steal from the family that had the dogs who saved your life ................ or who could end it if you did not get out of the car.

How about a nice cup of Sonal Special and let's end this talk of doxie attacks and car thefts. Puppies are on their way in about three weeks, so that will make far better conversation over tea.
